-FEDEILLTION REPORT JUNE.
 The June Meeting of the Federation was attended by 25 delegates and 4 visitors - a record number by recent standards.
-The adjourned discussion on the motion that :.nnual REUNIONS
-of FEDEW,TION should be discontinued" was carried forward. Speakers in fovour poInted out that only adverse publicity could arise from the standards being set by some recent Reunions, whilst those opposed to the motion thought that the intrinsic value of 2eunions should be brought to the top by better Fec'.oration management. The motion was lost, this bringing forward from the President a comment that all clubs voting against discontinuance must 'support all efforts to prevent misbehaviour of all kinds. It was thereupon agreed that the Cami3 Committee should, on the actual days of the Reunion, consist of representatives of all Clubs present, end that it should receive direction from Council as to measures to be taken to ensure sbtisfact, cry behOviour at the Reunion.

The motion was lost, this bringing forward from the President a comment that all clubs voting against discontinuance must support all efforts to prevent misbehaviour of all kinds. It was thereupon agreed that the Camp Committee should, on the actual days of the Reunion, consist of representatives of all Clubs present, and that it should receive direction from Council as to measures to be taken to ensure satisfactory behaviour at the Reunion.
-GOOD NEIGHBOUR COUNCIL: The secretary, explained that this Council aimed to help a number ofmiE,Prants (largely British) to fit in with the Australian way of life. He appealed to all Clubs to assist this work by offering leaders for_tr5_pswIth adults and children, and speakers on nature lore end Australian out doors. Opportunities existed for excellent work to be done in the field of Nature Preservation. Council rlso agreed that Federation should affiliate with the Good Neighbour Council.

+__Good Neighbour Council__: The secretary explained that this Council aimed to help a number of migrants (largely British) to fit in with the Australian way of life. He appealed to all Clubs to assist this work by offering leaders for trips with adults and children, and speakers on nature lore and Australian out doors. Opportunities existed for excellent work to be done in the field of Nature Preservation. Council also agreed that Federation should affiliate with the Good Neighbour Council.
-Messrs. F.:,.. Pallin (Convenor), S.A Cottier (C.M.W.)
-T.Moppett (S.D.W.), R. North (S.U.B.W.), L.Richards (W.E.A.Rambler4 N. Allen (Kameruka) A.A. Strom (SOB 0W, and Caloola).
+__Decline in walking club membership__: A sub-committee was appointed to work out ways and means to circumvent this decline. It is made up as follows:- Messrs. F.A. Pallin (Convenor), S.A Cottier (C.M.W.), T. Moppett (S.B.W.), R. North (S.U.B.W.), L.Richards (W.E.A. Ramblers), N. Allen (Kameruka), A.A. Strom (S.B.W. and Caloola).
-It seems obvious that there is generally a much wider anddeeper interest in the out of doors to-day than previously, but this interest is not necessarily directed towards bushwalking as most of us have known it. The enquiries of the Cormittee must therefore be broad and liberal, aimed at directing interest towards a true love of bushlmds and a desire to preserve for the future. No matter what the findings of the Committee, the-direction of the planned approach to the problem will demand people who are willing to sacrifice tie, money and personal pleasures, not 6nly for to-day aid tomorrow, but continuously throughout the years. The philosophy of despair - that which sit:7S You are doing no good, give up" - must be regarded as subversive and treated as it merits.
-The president congratulated delegates on the excellent attendance and appealed for a similar-response to the AnnualGeneral Meeting to be held on the third Tuesday in July. Visitors welcomed. Place of Meeting: "Big Sister" Room, Scot Chambers, Hoskins Place, 17th July at 6.30 p.m.

-The Flannel Flower Badge has often been to the top of Mount Olympus in Tasmania, but now we are proud to record that it was recently taken to thetop of the original Mount Olympus in Greece by our own member, Peter 1,ntoniades. Peter gave a most interesting slide lecture in the clubroom on 20th June when he showed us a host of shot'. taken in c'rreece, dating from relics from about 6000 B.C. up to the most modern and streamlined innovations in his native land. A great deal of research was undertaken by Peter to deliver a most interestim discourse of the ancient history, and we hope he will be able to give us another show on the next Social Programme as it was certainly something different and deserving of congratulations.

-WALKS PROGRAMME REPORT FOR MAY, 1956.
+----
-( This report was compiled from information obtained from the leaders of Official Walks for the period mentioned. To assist the Walks Secretary it is earnestly requested that all leaders hand the Walks Sec. a written report immediately after their trip, giving details of number of members and prospective members, highlights of the trip, and any information of general interest. If trips didnIt "go", please advise the reason for the non-start.)
-There were nine trips listed for May, and six of these started. 50 walkers, including 8 prospectives. attended these trips. However since the same people attended different trips the number of members walking on programmed trips in May was probably nearer 30.

 Dave Brown led the first walk in the absence of Peter Stitt who is still nursing a broken leg. Once they had started out the venue was changed and the seven participants went to Yerranderie and did a little caveing up Colong way.

 Trip 5 to Blue Gum drew no starters. Could it be that members thought they might have to do a bit of fixing on the dam?
-Trip 6 led by John Noble drew three members and two prospectiveb The three members included Ron Knightly who will be remembered by quite a few. Ron is back in Sydney and had transferred back to active after some gallivanting around. The trip itself was shortened because of lack of time, but an interesting day-walk has been pioneered. If a few more leaders would set up trips from maps alone and then carry them out some really interesting walks could result.

+Until just before the war, no climber would consider risking his life on anything but a 120-foot hunk of manila rope. Nylon rope, which had just come on the market, was regarded with suspicion by Eastern (U.S.A.) climbers, but the Sierra Club decided to try it out.

+The method of testing was somewhat unusual. Robinson, Leonard and Brower found themse1ves a suitable rock, abaut 30 ft. high, in a Berkley Park. One man would sit down, bracing himself solidly, and pass the rope around his body for a belay - meaning a position from which he could stop the fall of another climber. The second man would tie into the rope and jump off the edge of the rock. As he fell, the rope was allowed to slide, and then gradually tightened until the second man came to a stop not far above ground level.

The test crew grew so proficient that at the end of the experiment the second man could leap eighteen feet into space before he was halted in his flight and then lowered slowly to earth.
